Ori's List Launches a Directory of SEO Agencies With Verified Data

AUSTIN, Texas - Aug. 17, 2026 - PRLog -- One Scales Inc. today launched Ori's List, a directory of SEO agencies built on one mechanic: every performance figure comes from Google Search Console, via a read-only connection the agency authorizes itself.

It answers one question about each agency — can they rank their own site? If an agency can't drive organic traffic to its own domain, that's something a prospective client can act on.

"If they can't rank for themselves, why would you trust them to rank you?" said Ori Tzvielli, founder of One Scales Inc. "Every SEO directory I looked at sells placement and collects reviews. None check whether the agency's own numbers are real. That was the gap."

How verification works

An agency connects its own Search Console property, read-only. The system confirms it matches the agency's public root domain and that the account holds owner or full-user permission. Client properties are rejected — an agency can only connect the domain it owns.

Verification isn't a one-time award. A weekly queue re-confirms property and permission and pulls fresh aggregates. Two consecutive failures — revoked access, a missing property, lost permission, a domain mismatch — and the check mark and all public performance data come down. The listing stays.

The data cannot be bought

Ori's List (https://orislist.com) offers a free tier at $0 and a Pro tier at $49, charged once, not as a subscription. Both require the same Google connection, get the same weekly sync, publish the same data.

Pro adds the check mark, a dofollow link, an embeddable badge, top placement and up to four categories. It does not, at any price, produce a better number.

"Paying is not sufficient, and connecting once is not enough," said Tzvielli. "There is no check at any price without a passing weekly check."

The directory also publishes agencies whose traffic is falling. An agency in decline keeps its listing and its check, and is labelled Declining.

Buyer-side browsing

It lists 26 agencies across nine categories, including Technical, Local, SaaS, Ecommerce and Content & Link Building SEO. Verification is open to any agency, listed or not.

Listings filter by verification status, traffic band and trend — a browse mode built on first-party data, not self-reported claims or paid tiers.
